There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

After Cao Hong received the letter from "Cao Ang", his face immediately changed.

The contents of the letter made Cao Hong extremely angry.

Cao Ang said that he was repeatedly attacked by pottery merchants, and repeatedly sent people to Xuchang for help, asking Xun Yu to send troops, but Xun Yu kept guarding the city and did not move at all.

Cao Ang was already disheartened, but he received the news that Cao Hong led the troops back to replace Xu Changcheng for Xun Yu, and then he ignited the last glimmer of hope, and wrote to Cao Hong, asking him to send troops to support him.

Otherwise, his own death is a minor matter, and the fall of Dongjun and Puyang is the top priority.

Chapter 789 Searching the Xun Mansion

Cao Hong was furious in his heart, but he still maintained a sliver of reason and did not dare to be arbitrary.

He asked someone to find Cao Pi.

When they were young, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang came here at Cao Hong's call.

Cao Hong asked the two to sit down, and then handed Cao Ang's distress letter to the two of them.

Cao Pi unfolded the bamboo slips, but saw Cao Ang's characters on them.

Cao Pizai read it carefully, then heaved a long sigh, and said: "My pity, my elder brother was attacked by pottery merchants in Puyang City, and the defenders on the city couldn't even raise their heads, but Mr. Ruo is still standing still in Xuchang, accept it." What kind of canonization by the imperial court, what kind of Situ hehe, my father really believed him by mistake."

Cao Hong pointed to the emergency letter and said, "Nephew, are you sure that it is indeed your elder brother's handwriting?"

Cao Pi handed the bamboo slips to Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang looked at it for a while, and said, "Uncle Zilian, that's absolutely right, it's definitely my elder brother's handwriting!"

Cao Hong patted the table vigorously, and said angrily, "This Xun Yu, Lord Sikong treats him well, what is he thinking?"

Cao Pi said to Cao Hong, "Uncle Zilian, I have been investigating Xun Ruo for the past few days, but I discovered some details that we hadn't noticed before."

Cao Hong frowned and said, "What details?"

Cao Pi sneered, and said: "If my guess is correct, the imperial court in the east sent envoys to confer on Xun Yu as the Great Situ. The same hug, there must be some connection, otherwise, how dare Xun Yu go out of the city so easily? What is he going out of the city for? And why did the pottery spy with him for a long time in the commander's tent? My father thought about the different feelings between Xun Yu and Xun Yu. Ask, should we let his arrogance continue to be a disaster?"

Speaking of this, Cao Pi shook the bamboo slips in his hand and said: "Now it seems that it is an exchange between them not to send troops to rescue and to abandon Puyang City."

Cao Hong said angrily, "What is Xun Yu up to? He dared to put Zixiu's life at risk and use the blood of the Cao family in exchange for his fame and fortune? How dare he!"

"I heard that the imperial envoy who came to grant Xun Yu the last time was Xun Yu's younger brother Xun Chen. In my house, I have been secretly enshrining the spirit tablet of the late emperor!"

"The spirit tablet of the late emperor?" Cao Hong couldn't help being stunned: "He hasn't met the late emperor a few times, why is he enshrining the spiritual tablet of the late emperor?"

Cao Pi said with a gloomy expression: "This may mean that in his heart, the imperial court is far more important than the Cao family. What the imperial court can bestow on him, the Cao family may not be able to give."

"Crack!" Seeing Cao Hong pounding the table heavily, he said angrily, "This bastard, the court is now in Nanchang!"

Cao Pi sighed and said, "This is probably the most worrying thing."

Cao Hong couldn't bear it anymore, he got up and kicked over the table, angrily said: "Come, come! Order troops, follow me to Xun Mansion."

Ever since he was removed from the military power and political power, Xun Yu has been living in seclusion, living a life in the mansion without leaving the door and not going out.

But even though he was so honest, his heart was still frightened from time to time, and he couldn't sleep well at night for no reason.

One day, Xun Yu was studying in the study, but he saw the butler rushing to him in a hurry, and said loudly, "Master, something is wrong. General Cao came to the door with his troops. I don't know what's going on."

Xun Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then sighed helplessly: "What is supposed to come will come after all. It seems that I lost this bet with the pottery merchant."

Xun Yu was very moved, but the housekeeper was very anxious: "Master, what should I do with this matter now?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing to be afraid of, let's go out and have a look with me."

The two of them left the study room and came to the main courtyard, only to see Cao Hong standing there with a golden sword, and Cao Pi and Cao Zhang standing behind him.

On both sides of the courtyard, there were densely packed ligers and tiger soldiers.

The face of the housekeeper of the Xun Mansion turned pale with fear,

Xun Yu is a person who has experienced big storms, but he is not in a hurry at the moment, with a very indifferent look.

"General Zilian, I don't know what you are here for?"

Cao Hong looked at him coldly, and said: "The rebellion has slipped into the city. I am personally looking for it everywhere. I heard from my subordinates that someone saw the rebellion hiding in Mr. Ruo's mansion. I am here to arrest you. I am rude. , please don’t blame Mr. Ruo.”

Xun Yu smiled wryly and said: "General Zilian, what you said is really not very pleasant. Xun's house is not big, but there are a lot of people. If outsiders slipped in, I'm afraid they would have been caught long ago. Why bother?" The general personally came to search for it?"

"Search well, some people look like individuals on the surface, but in fact they don't do human affairs behind the scenes! I will check it myself, so I can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he waved to the ligers and tiger soldiers behind him, and saw those ligers and tiger soldiers begin to rush towards Xun Yu's mansion.

The old housekeeper of the Xun Mansion wanted to stop it, but was roughly blocked by those ligers.

Facing these battle-tested fighters, the members of the Xun family simply had no ability to stop them.

No matter how good-tempered Xun Yu is, it's not just made of mud.

Even if it is made of mud, clay figurines also have a three-point earthy nature. Who can let others block the door and bully them at the door?

He turned to look at Cao Hong, and said angrily, "General Zilian, what do you mean?"

Cao Hong looked at him coldly, then handed him the letter from "Cao Ang", and said, "Mr. Xun, what kind of benefits did the pottery merchant give you to make you do your best for him?"

Xun Yu took the slip, opened it, read it carefully for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

"General Zilian, can't you see such a simple plan of alienation?"

Cao Hong raised his eyebrows: "A plan to divorce? Mr. Xun, don't push everything on the potter, it's too much!"

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "When I agreed with General Zixiao and Eldest Prince to divide the troops to defend the city, we had already discussed it. No matter which city was in crisis, I would never ask for help from the other two cities, and defended desperately to delay for Sikong Time, but in this letter, the eldest son said that he sent me several distress letters, but I never received it. Isn’t this Tao Jun’s plan to alienate me?”

Cao Hong frowned upon hearing this.

Cao Pi asked Xun Yu, "Sir, he said that he had discussed with my elder brother and refused to rescue the soldiers. May I ask who in the city can testify?"

In a word, there was a sudden silence in the arena.

Xun Yu looked at Cao Pi in astonishment, and said when he was young, "There is no one in Xuchang City who can prove it."

Cao Hong came back to his senses, and said with a sneer, "It's not just your own mouth that speaks nonsense."

Cao Pi took a step forward and said again: "Mr. Xun, that day the pottery merchant sent someone to confer on you as the Great Situ"

Xun Yu interrupted Cao Pi's words: "Second Master, please explain clearly, who wants to make me Situ?"

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and changed his words: "Yes, the imperial court sent an envoy to confer on Lord Xun. Dare I ask Lord Xun, who is the envoy who came to confer on you?"
